It may not appear so on this day, if you and I are like-minded. But Love does always win.
Always. Always. Always.
I have seen it so many times, in so many ways. From the hospital beds of the dying, from kitchen tables full of the grieving, from court rooms where justice was not served (yes, even then), from church fellowship halls with only a few tired disciples struggling to find the energy to go on. And on and on it goes. LOVE STILL WINS.
And it will today. Because if you and I are like-minded, like-hearted, you … yes, YOU reading this message …. will go out and share love. To the person beside you. At the grocery store. While pumping gas into your car. As you walk your dog. When you stop to park your bike. You will offer it with softness and kindness. You will love mercy and kindness and walk humbly with your God. Because you know that God is Love Incarnate. God’s Light will light yours. We aren’t the Little Match Girl whose light has (temporarily) blown out . God’s light is eternal and outlasts everything.
Be the light. And watch LOVE rise up!
Peace and grace to you this day.
